Our first 2 days!
After a long day of traveling we were greeted by our great Israeli tour guide and peers at the airport. They were all just as upbeat and enthusiastic for the trip as we were! We then spent our first full day hiking in the Galilee. The views were amazing and it was great to do some walking after spending lots of time on the plane.
Today we spent the first half of our day in the Golan Heights doing the Jilaboon hike. It was more intense then yesterday’s, but it was very adventurous and a lot of fun. After, we drove to Har Bental. We got to visit the historic bunkers and see Lebanon out in the distance. Later in the day we stopped at another beautiful overlook and heard a personal story from our bus driver, Jobi. He explained to us his struggles and hardships in traveling to Israel many years ago. His story was very touching and it was nice to see the personal impact Israel has made on his life. We are now preparing for our first Shabbat in Israel!
